that he calcula ted that about the second
night the old bear would return to finish
his repast. Accordingly, on tho second
night, French and Tom took their rifles
and quietly stole away from home. About
10 o'clock they were on the ground near
the dead lambs. They came to an am
bush thirty yards away, and calmly wait
ed for the moon to rise. By the time
that luminary was we'll up in the sky an
enormous black object was seen coming
down the mountain.
'There he is" whispered French,
II see him." answered Tom. ''You give
the world" BY this time Toms gun rest
ed on the fence, but French's gun was at
his shoulder. without a rest. At this mo-
ment another bear up in the mountain
only short distance away, gave that dis
NAL scream that generally unnerves the
night bear hunter but not so with French
and Tom. They were cycling their game
with all their might, trying to draw a
close bead on him by the moonlight. He
stopped and turned his head in their di.
rection. He had scented them, or seen
them, and the next bound would have
given the hunters only running shot, or
perhaps no shot at all. But they were
too quick for him. Both rifles rang out.
The bear gave one leap backward and
fell dead.
French had shot him through the head
and Tom through the spinal cord, just
forward of the shoulder, both fatal shots.
Both guns had spoken so near together
that French asked Tom why he did not
fire. The Hunters went back to the hotel
happy at their exploit, and so short a
time had they been absent that their
neighbors could hardly believe that they
had really shot the bear, till the enor-
nous carcass, nearly nine feet in length.

ONE LEAP AND HE WAS DEAD,
How Tom French and His Father Killed a
Nine-FOOt Bear

HOW Tom french ana HIS Father Killed a
Nine-FOOt Bear.
To actually shoot bear in the wilds of
Maipe is really an achievement that few
can boast of. There are bears in the
woods of that state and New Hampshire,
but to shoot them is job as difficult as
to see them. The bear is pronounced
one of the most difficult animals to get
sight of that frequent the forests of this
part of the country. Bears are killed in
considerable numbers in Maine every
year, but IN their capture the rife Or shot
gun plays only poor part till after the
giant steel-trap has forced bruin to come
to a halt. Keen of sight, hearing, and
scent, the bear has taken alarm an skulked
away long before the sharpest hunter has
seen him. The best hunters and guides
pronounce the black bear the most diff
cult animal TO approach within gunshot.
Mr.. J. A. French keeps hotel at Andov-
er, Me-, which is well known to visitors of
the Androscoggin lakes by the shortest

ly killed with the gun. He is keen shot
with the rifle, as is also his son Tom, 10
years Of age.

A FRIGHTENED MINER.

Nigh.
Bill Hunton, of Bunker Hill district,
was the most frightened man in ten ter
rltorles, last Tuesday. He was unarmed.
He had been off somewhere, and he had
heard nothing of the outbrake. On arrive
ing at Ashley's camp aud finding it desert
ed he was surprised, and on goiug to the
corral he was more than surprised to find
a dead mule, which he thought at first
had broken it's neck, but on examination
and discovering that it had been shot he
made an exclamation indians, by-!'
He Immediately started for ScaElan's and
Diehls camp three miles distant to warn
them. Approaching cautiously to the
house, he found that deserted and gen.
eral state of confusion existing around. On
looking up he discovered several saddled
horses of cowboys hitched to a tree near
by, but did not observe the cowboys, who
at that moment were digging the grave
for poor Diehl, about a block off. He
didn't stop on the order of going; he just
simply started as if the whole Apache
nation was after him. He Lit on that
horse of his in a twin king. The rowels
of his spur dug deep burrows in the ribs
of his steed, whose blood was not on the
pride of the Baldwin stable and whose
speed was no more than the honest cart
horse, but still he few as best he could.
Trails had no charmes for him; he broke
into the bush. A cowboy, just observing
him at this time shouted to him. The
sound was as unmusical as war-whoop
of the entire Indian nation, and he flew.
The cowboy, approaching the situation
mounted fleet horse and started in pur-
suit. 1t then became a race for life.
Hunton never looked back, but he could
hear, and on he sped. The race was now
a go-as-you-please for two miles and a
half, when the cowboy overlook him and
shouted his name just as he was about to
dismount and make fight for life.

An Afterthouoht,

Twas in the garden chatting
Amid the nIignonette.-
She with her snowy tatting,
with my cigarette.
l still can See her fingers
it softly in and out;
With rapture memory fingers
To view her lips a-pout.
A happy sunbeam glancing
Upon a wayward curl
Set every pulse TO dancing,
And turned my brain a-whirl;
And when she looked up sbyly,
could not help, you see,
But sUoop and kiss her slyJy,
Behind the apple tree.
Strange that some mote forever
Should mar the rays of Bliss
Thou h conscious / had never
Yet won a sweeter kiss,
Alasl the act of plumber
So gracefully she bore,
/ could not choose bat wonder,
Had she been kissed before?
